Enjoy the history and atmosphere of Nara

The ancient capital of Nara has an even longer history than Kyoto. Nara retains and continues to preserve a great deal of Japanese beauty. Rightly called "the capital of tranquility", Nara is a town whose peaceful atmosphere has remained unchanged for over 1,300 years.

Nara, ancient capital of Japan and a city with over 1,300 years of history

The area around the ryokan boasts the most national treasures in the prefecture, and represents a simply unmissable sightseeing destination. The Great Buddha Hall of Todai-ji Temple, famous for the large statue of the Buddha it houses, is one of Nara's most famous destinations, and also one of the largest wooden structures in the world. Many of Kofuku-ji Temple's architectural structures are national treasures, and the beautiful view of the five-story pagoda from Sarusawa Pond is a symbolic piece of Nara scenery.M
Go a little further afield and you will find other refined sightseeing spots, like Mt. Wakakusa and Kasuga Taisha.
We hope you will have a great trip and enjoy immersing yourself in history and nature.
